1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Besides metabolic and cardiovascular parameters, fluctuations in endocrine and inflammatory biomarkers might be regarded as reliable indicators of allostatic load. Among them, glucocorticoids have been shown to correlate with social stress in animals, regardless of whether they are dominant or subordinate, thus highlighting the crucial role of physiological energetic costs, together with social challenges, in the onset and severity of allostasis. Therefore, in the present work, we evaluated and monitored monthly the concentration of cortisol in bristles (pg/mg) over six months in young (n = 8), sub-adult (n = 5) and adult female wild boars (n = 5), which were kept in a controlled State Forest in Southern Italy. Our data revealed higher concentrations of cortisol in young animals when compared to sub-adult (
